Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Barbecue is the closest they've been to Papa Doc's reign, he supposedly believes in similar stuff, has similar narcissistic traits, and is absolutely as corrupt as they were, so if that's what they want that's kinda what they're getting.
They want Western nations to quit fucking them around and telling them what to do.
Lol, you are pretty naive if you think it's that at all.
Barbecue is literally named for cooking and eating his enemies, do you actually think any respectable country wants to play nice with that kind of guy? Also the guy is completely out to gain power, that's it, and if the US was willing to deal with him in any positive way he would be singing their praises, because again, it's not about revolution, this guy is a gangster, he just wants power and control, and legitimacy from the US would mean he's going to win.
Also the US has been largely hands off with Haiti for the last twenty years, the US/Haiti relationship is almost as complicated as Israel and Palestine, especially when Haitians make up such a large demographic in the US. Ever since Obama's administration and the Red Cross scandal US policy towards Haiti has mostly been hands off, which Trump's administration took drastically further, since Trump's foreign policy is extremely isolationist, plus all of Trump's racist and classist bullshit.
The only Americans causing problems down there rn are criminal gun runners who are working with the criminal element of Haiti, namely Barbecue's people, to take over the country, illegally and absolutely not democratic. Those criminal Americans should be arrested and tried ASAP.
Fake whine some more about how badly America is being treated.
I don't see anywhere where I whined about anything, but nice to see that you get triggered over anybody not having a completely delusional anti-US take.
I'm just calling it how I see it, if your bitch ass thinks I'm whining maybe you should bone up on your f'n reading comprehension skills.
Totally agree. Let Haitians figure it out on their own with zero involvement from the West or any Western-funded entities. I'm sure Haiti will be fine just as soon as we back out.
That’s the best way for America to deal with it. We just need to stay out of it. Leave our troops and tax dollars out of it.
